| All the material on your channel is pretty sweet. Only thing is you called people (Air Force officers) retarded for putting their pistols on the chest. Yeah opinions are good and all but the whole point of it is to be modular -- people do what works best for them. | |

| Yeah ok. But if anything those guys are smarter for putting it on the chest because when you're crammed into a humvee, tank, or aircraft you're not gonna be able to access the thigh. Chest is the only good option. Can't call them retards for wanting to be able to fight. | |

Honestly, I can call them what ever I want. Im a former US Army Ranger and I know what Im talking about. See where Im coming from is most the "Retarded" Officers I see with pistols in the chest, are ones that don't get in vehicles, or planes, there just paper pushers. While most where going to college and getting a degree. Joe's like me where sucking sand out in the desert. So please... don't come at me like I don't know what Im saying. If you watched my video, I said its better and more accessible to get to your pistol because of the natural position of the body. Im not bashing anyone, Im just saying I've seen people die because of that half second. | |

Whatever, you OBVIOUSLY know way more than I ever will about everything. Ever.

| If they were sitting at a desk, then it would still be very benificial to wear the holster on your chest, now wouldnt it. | |

| just a question, would it be about the same time to draw your pistol no matter chest or leg? I mean your arms are closer to your chest, people also tend to keep their arms up then down to the side. The distance reaching down to draw compared to the chest is farther.
I'm going by simple observation though. I keep my pistol at my leg so I don't personally know. | |

| EDITED FOR CONTENT (ORIGINALLY POSTED FROM A PHONE SO WAS ALL GHETTO'D UP)
Guys, instead of throwing words around, ask a moderator to request his DD 214's as we have in the past with people thought to be in the act of "Stealing Valor" (I don't care what the courts say, the Stolen Valor Act was the best thing to happen to our country in recent years.)
You have to understand our suspicion, "Ranger"...9 out of 10 people that claim to be Rangers, Seals, Force Recon or other elite military/police units are full of crap; And it seems suspicious because veterans of such high status usually are very modest about their accomplishments; impostors love to brag and boast. \"Watch your language\", I sat next to a guy in my health sciences class that claimed to have been a Green Beret but was discharged after being shot in Iraq. Guy couldn't have been a day over 20.
The fact that your username is "Ranger", that you have Ranger flags behind you in most of your videos, and that you proclaimed your SO service without provocation in an "I know what I'm talking about" manner leads to questioning. Instead of getting bitter over it and risking alienating yourself, steps should be taken to show proof of service before you are wrongfully accused of stolen valor.
"True heroism is like a river. The deeper it runs, the quieter it is."
Glad you like the forum, hopefully you stick around.

You have to understand our suspicion, "ranger"...so many people claim to be of special forces lineage without evidence. If we are wrong in our assumptions, I personally don't think it makes a difference. From the civilian POV you are still representing Rangers in your conduct, which I personally find to be dishonorable. Pretty much sums it up. Like Drummerboyz said, want our respect? Gotta earn it. Whether you say your a Ranger or not... | |

| Welcome aboard. You've got some great editing on your video's. I have a few critiques with the way you run your stuff, but its gear. Everyone can do what they want. Its also only airsoft, so there is no "right way", just depends on your style of play.
BTW "chairforce officers" are not the only ones who run chest mounted SERPAs. If you would like to tell CAG that they are retarted chair guardians go right ahead...
I must be a chair force officer. Didn't know it at the time, I was just keeping \"Watch your language\" off my leg's lol.
BTW I'm just messing with you, what batt were you in?

Cool stuff, Ranger. Thanks for sharing those pics and for honorably serving this country. You understand our somewhat bitter response I would hope. The way most of us see it, it's best to proceed with question rather than accepting spoken or written words to be truth. Thank you for clearing that up and removing doubt from my mind and hopefully the forum as a whole. We've had a rash of impostors in recent months and any aggressiveness towards those who claim service is done in the name of our own defense and protecting valor in it's most respectable form. Welcome to the forum, I hope we didn't scare you off too bad. As you said, your special set of knowledge would be a great addition to the Airsoft Allies think-tank. | |
